What to Expect from Android Q
Android Q is set to bring several new features that will enhance the user experience on Samsung devices. One of the most talked-about features is the system-wide dark mode, which not only makes the interface easier on the eyes but also helps in conserving battery life on OLED screens.
Another significant improvement is the enhanced privacy controls. Android Q will give users more control over their personal data, including more granular location sharing options. Users will be able to grant location access to apps only while they are in use, which is a big step forward in terms of privacy.
Foldable devices are also getting special attention in Android Q. With the launch of the Galaxy Fold, Samsung is at the forefront of this new category of devices. Android Q will offer better support for foldable screens, allowing for seamless transitions between different screen states and improved multitasking capabilities.
Additionally, Android Q will introduce a new feature called “Bubbles,” which is similar to Facebook Messenger’s chat heads. This feature will allow users to keep conversations in floating bubbles on the screen, making multitasking easier.
This is just an initial list and it is not official as yet, we suspect more handsets will get the update. As soon as we get some official word from Samsung, we will let you guys know. The update process for Samsung devices usually starts with the flagship models and then trickles down to mid-range and budget devices.
For those eager to get their hands on Android Q, it’s worth noting that Samsung typically rolls out updates in phases, starting with a beta program for select users. This allows the company to iron out any bugs before a wider release. If you’re interested in participating in the beta program, keep an eye on Samsung’s announcements and be ready to sign up as soon as it becomes available.
